Technical vs. Non-Technical Trading

As the title suggests I'm interested in the merits of technical vs. non-technical trading.

First of all, does "non-technical" trading even exist anymore? I constantly hear that finance is becoming more quantitative everyday, so are the non-technical positions becoming more technical? Will all non-technical positions eventually be phased out by computer programming?

Can you make significantly more money in quantitative trading?

Any other information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
